The very essence of LIFE is good health. We at OTR Organic Farm Products strongly believe that food has a profound impact on one’s health. Unfortunately, in the modern day world, quality of food is severely compromised to meet the ever-growing demand. The focus seems to be on QUANTITY and PRESENTATION rather than QUALITY. In normal farming, several chemical-based pesticides and fertilizers are extensively used at different stages of cultivation and what reaches the consumer is a neatly packaged blend of chemicals. In the process, the natural goodness of the produce is lost.

It is in this scenario that ORGANIC FOODS assume great importance. Organic foods symbolize the adage ‘Prevention is better than cure’. Organic farming, in simple terms, means cultivation without using chemical-based pesticides and fertilizers. Age-old and time-tested farming techniques like mulching, crop rotation, etc., are implemented. Moreover, only natural manures and pesticides, namely, cow dung and cow’s urine, goat manure, chciken manure, varieties of composts, leaf extracts, neem-based products, etc., to cite a few, are used. Organic farming ensures that the natural goodness of the produce—vitamins, minerals, nutrients and taste are not lost. This in turn provides priceless health benefits to the consumer. Nonuse of chemical-based pesticides and fertilizers protects the farmer from the ill effects of the same and has a positive impact on our ecosystem.
